[Bug 487770] Re: Allow use of a /quote command in empathy

[Brian Curtis]

Ok, now your bug report makes sense.  Please forward this to the
upstream bug people at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME.
(thats why I have marked this as incomplete)

** Summary changed:

- Empathy cannot send string starting with a slash
+ Allow use of a /quote command in empathy

** Description changed:

  Just as the title says.
  Say, for example, I want to say "/names" on a chat. So I type "/names", and get only an error message: " - Unsupported command".
  Fine, it's interpreted as a command for Empathy. Emesene does that, too. So I try "//names" to send the literal string "/names", as it works in emesene and IRC. Instead, the string "//names" is sent.
  I have also tried with a backslash before the slash, and enclosing the string in single or double quotes. Nothing works.
  
  Why can't Empathy just send a string as the user types it?
+ 
+ edit (bcurtiswx):
+ the /quote command -or- a double slash would allow test to be sent as literal string.
